Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:<span>

For the truck,
KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 20000 kg (110 km/h (1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km))^2 / 2
KE = 611111.11 J

For the astronaut,
KE = 80.0 kg (27500 km/h</span>(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km)<span>)^2/2
KE = 611111.11 J

The kinetic energy possessed by the two bodies are the same.

If the mass of an object is 44 kilograms and its velocity is 10 meters per second east, how much Kinetic Energy does it have?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Given: Mass m = 44 Kg;      Velocity v = 10 m/s

Required: Kinetic energy K.E = ?

Formula: K.E = 1/2 mv²

               K.E 1/2 (44 Kg)(10 m/s)²

               K.E = 2,200 Kg.m²/s²

               K.E = 2,200 J Answer is A

Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticable,
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) V = 195.70 m/s

b) f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) T = 3311.25 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength, λ = 646 Km = 646000 m

Distance traveled = 3410 Km = 3410000 m

Time = 4.84 h = 4.84 × 3600 s = 17424 seconds

a) The speed (V) of the wave is given as

V = distance / time

V = 3410000 m/ 17424 seconds

or

V = 195.70 m/s

b) The frequency (f) of the wave is given as:

f = V / λ

f= 195.70 / 646000

f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) The time period (T)  is given as:

T = 1/ f

T = 1/ (3.02 × 10⁻⁴) Hz

T = 3311.25 seconds
